Description
Nuclear deterrence requires objective ethical analysis.
In providing it, the authors face realities - the Soviet threat, possible nuclear holocaust, strategic imperatives - but they also unmask moral evasions - deterrence cannot be bluff, pure counterforce, the lesser (or greater) evil, or a step towards disarmament.
They conclude that the deterrent is unjustifiable and examine the new question of conscience that this raises for everyone.
